How To Put A New Starter On A 1997 Deere 6300 Tractor
Harold David Rupard, Winchester, Ky.: “When I tried putting a new starter on my 1997 Deere 6300 tractor, I found there wasn’t room for a wrench. I tried using a special tool borrowed from my Deere dealer, but it didn’t help. So I came up with my own solution. I used a bandsaw to cut a box end wrench in half and put the box end half on the nut. Then I used a cold chisel and hammer to tap around the nut until it came off. “The lug bolts on the tractor’s dual wheels were too long to get a deepwell socket on them. So I used my bandsaw to cut a socket in half. Then I welded the open end of the socket to one end of a 6-in. long pipe, and welded the drive end to the other end. To remove the wheel, I just connect the socket drive end of the pipe to my air-operated wrench.”
